Yesterday I read a book
That was too good to put down,
Even when my dad said,
"Come on, let's bike to town!"

The book was so exciting
I hardly looked up at all,
Even when my friends said,
"Come out and play football!"

I kept on reading the book,
It took the entire day,
And when I was finally done,
I felt like I'd been far away!

How a Puppy Grows

I think it’s very funny

The way a puppy grows –

A little on his wiggle-tail,

A little on his nose,

A little on his tummy

And a little on his ears;

I guess he’ll be a dog all right

In half a dozen years.

I am a tiny gray animal that makes squeaky sounds.
What am I? (A mouse)Louder Than a Clap of Thunder
Louder than a clap of thunder,
louder than an eagle screams,
louder than a dragon blunders,
[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/main/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]or a dozen football teams,
louder than a four alarmer,
or a rushing waterfall,
louder than a knight in armor
jumping from a ten-foot wall.
Louder than an earthquake rumbles,
louder than a tidal wave,
louder than an ogre grumbles
as he stumbles through his cave,
louder than stampeding cattle,
louder than a cannon roars,
louder than a giant's rattle,
that's how loud my father SNORES!

Leaves of the Trees(sung to the tune of Wheels on the bus)The leaves of the treesturn orange and redorange and redorange and red.The leaves of the trees turn orange and redAll through the town.

The leaves of the treesgo swish, swish, swish,swish, swish, swish,swish, swish, swish,The leaves of the trees go swish, swish, swish,All through the town

We just finished up this week by writing an acrostic poem for CLOWNS. We had a tall picture of a clown on the left and wrote the poem next to the picture. They turned out really cute. We brainstormed lots of words that began with each letter to help get started.
